Charles Dickens, born in 1812, was a phenomenal writer, but he did more than publish some of the greatest novels of all time. He went above and beyond being a good son while his father was imprisoned after not paying debts. Dickens went broke when he had to sell all of his belongings to get him out of jail.
The first 6000 copies were published by Dickens himself as his publisher thought the story would not sell. The first print sold out in 14 days - Then the publisher Chapman and Hall took over
because when Charles dad went to prison, Charles mom and Charles started to sell all the things they had, but at a point, they didn't have anything left so the only thing they could do was to go to jail.
